Stuffed Cottage Cheese(snacks)

Cottage Cheese or Paneer , as its referred to in India,  is a favourite and a must in every vegetarian meal. This is a cottage cheese roll with a vegetable filling .Though cottage cheese is not a favourite ingredient in Bengali cooking,  as it's mostly used to make sweets in Bengal. However, in the recent times it is being used more and more and being liked more and more by the Bengali's .Do try it.This is a very easy to prepare snack dish,  that is inspired by the non -bengali (marwari) lunch i had at my dear friend Mrs Bansals place some days back.
